It was gathered that the suspect allegedly kidnapped three children who were returning from their holiday coaching. According to eyewitnesses, the alleged kidnapper was caught with a Ghana must go bag, which he was struggling with along Salami Street.
The kidnapper was beaten to death by an angry mob at Brown Street, in Akinpelu, Oshodi area of Lagos State on Tuesda.
Sources told The Guardian that before the suspect was lynched, he alleged to be a Further Mathematics teacher from one Odeogberin International Nursery and Primary School at Owoseni Street, Oshodi but when he was taken to the school, the headmaster said he was not a teacher and had never seen him before.
A resident, who simply identified herself as Omotoke, said area boys took the kidnapper around and asked for his identity but when no one recognized him, they stripped him of his clothes.
“When they opened his bag, two of the children appeared to have died while one was still breathing. At the sight of the lifeless bodies, the angry mob beat him until he died,” she said.
